(1,313 posts)Dean was focusing on the 50 state strategy and it did make a difference and certainly helped Obama. Dean also told Rham to no for his DCCC funds as he was needing them for the overall party at various levels. That's the issue, also, the top of the Dems only focus on themselves and preserving their power structure vs. strengthening the part overall. We are all in this together and they need to do what Dean was doing because they do not have the massive money the R's do to takeover at all levels. They need to be smart about it thought the various levels, and I am still not seeing that. That's why so many seats run unopposed, even for the House!
The problem is starting ot be recognized, but not at the points where I think it needs to be -- Electronic machines. We need to go back to paper ballots, hand counted, and the counting on a recorded open stream for anyone to view with a connection! Harder to steal elections then.
